Just got my new Mr. Muffin custom run Union Pacific E-9’s they are great looking locomotives. Everything works flawlessly. I did finally notice that the front coupler on the trailing A unit wouldn’t fire. Hoping to find a loose connection I went looking and popped off the shell. Naturally I did find the loose connection but it was just a simple connector on top of the truck. If it twists to the engineer side of the locomotive it will pop out of its socket. If you twist it to the fireman (conductor) side the wire is just long enough not to pop out. This only if you are trying to remove or reinstall the truck in normal operation everything seems fine. In the midst of this the shell is already off so here’s some pictures of Lionel’s new boards not great but here they are if interested. Also note this the rear unit so no sound board
